SALISBURY, Md. – The York College women's tennis team saw their 2010-2011 campaign come to a close on Tuesday afternoon, falling 9-0 at Salisbury in the semifinal round of the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament. The Spartans conclude their season with an 11-7 mark while the Sea Gulls move on to the CAC Championship with a record of 14-2.

Junior Katelyn Acker and freshman Nicole Olson put up solid efforts in the second and fifth slots, respectively. However, both fell to their Salisbury counterparts, 6-4, 6-1.

Despite the loss, the Green and White put together a quality season. Finishing with their 11-7 mark, York establishing a new program record for wins in a single season, eclipsing the ten-win mark for the first time in their history, while they posted an above .500 record for the first time since 2005.

The junior posted a career-best 12 singles victories (finishing the year with a 12-7 record) while she teamed with rookie Sarah Wargo to tally eight doubles victories. Acker's 12 singles victories establishes a new program-best, passing her own previous high of 11 set last season.

Megan McCullin also registered a solid year for the Green and White with an 8-7 singles mark.
